Jon Gruden told Jared Goff to compare Rams to his 1-11 season at Cal

ESPN analyst Jon Gruden, who is still a potential candidate for Los Angeles Rams coach for next season, had some advice for Jared Goff.

Gruden welcomed Goff to his “Gruden’s QB Camp” before the rookie was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft.

In the video, Gruden spoke about why Goff would need to compare his rookie season in the league to when he went 1-11 in college with the California Golden Bears.

Here’s what Jared Goff told media about the comparison during media availability on Thursday:

“I think about it all the time, just as far as what we’re going through and what I’ve been through in the past. It correlates, but it’s all different. We’re in a different situation, and I think or team right now is much better than my freshman team at Cal was. So I think that we have a good chance to turn this thing around here, I think it’s going to be just fine.”

Gruden said learning from the poor freshman year at Cal is “going to push you through some of the dark times” when he is having a rough go at it in the NFL.
